General

Name

Name of layer.

Message

The message associated with the object.

Tooltip

Text to display when the mouse cursor is placed over the layer in the 3D Window.

Appearance

Min. Visibility Distance

Sets the minimal distance from the camera below which the point cloud model disappears.

Max. Visibility Distance

Sets the distance from the camera above which the point cloud model disappears.

Point Size

Size, in pixels, of each of the point cloud’s points. If the point cloud’s point size is based on attribute values, you can view this information by clicking the Field by Attribute button  . A point cloud's point size can only be based on attribute values from TerraExplorer Pro, before publishing the project that includes this point cloud.

Point Color

Color of the point cloud points. . If the point cloud’s point color is based on attribute values, you can view this information by clicking the Field by Attribute button  . A point cloud's point color can only be based on attribute values from TerraExplorer Pro, before publishing the project that includes this point cloud.

Point Visibility

Determines if the point cloud’s points are visible.  If the point cloud’s point visibility is based on attribute values, you can view this information by clicking the Field by Attribute button  . A point cloud's point visibility can only be based on attribute values from TerraExplorer Pro, before publishing the project that includes this point cloud.

Point SSE

The point cloud’s Level of Detail (LOD). When set to Normal, TerraExplorer determines the optimal quality to performance balance based on the current view. The “High” and “Best” settings will load more detailed models but are also more resource-intensive.

Geometry

Maintain Aspect Ratio

Select the check box to maintain the point cloud's proportional relationship between the width, length, and height, i.e., when the scale factor in one axis is modified, the scale factor in the other two axes is automatically adjusted to maintain the original width:length:height ratio. If the check box is not selected, the scale factor in each axis can be modified independently of the other axis scale factors.

Scale

Determines the dimensions, of the point cloud model. The actual size of the model in the 3D World is the size of the model in its internal coordinate system times the Scale value, (i.e., if the model has a width of 5 units and the scale is set to 10, the width of the object in the 3D World is 50 meters.)

Position

X

Enter the X-coordinate for the point cloud model’s pivot point.

Y

Enter the Y-coordinate for the point cloud model’s pivot point.

Altitude

Enter the altitude, as defined in Altitude Method, for the point cloud model’s pivot point.

Yaw

The direction angle of the point cloud along the vertical axis relative to north.

Pitch

The tilt angle of the point cloud along its lateral axis relative to the horizon.

Roll

The roll angle of the point cloud  along its longitudinal (front-to-back) axis.
